It could be legit. But Cox's detailed reasoning about running 3 races in a short period rings hollow in the face of his handling of dual champion Essential Quality who basically did (with great success) what is apparently now anathema to him.
Meanwhile, owner Spendthrift loves to "make" stallions which Loggins would have been instantly if he had contested and won the BC Juvenile.
None of this of course means that even if he did have a setback, it was something major.
